ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate and analyze the status quo and influential factors of the elderly in the community.Methods:From July to September 2021, 543 elderly people were investigated in 9 community healthcare service centers in Hangzhou by using the Comprehensive Frailty Assessment Instrument (including four dimensions: physical, psychological, social, and environmental frailty) and the Social Support Rating Scale (including three dimensions: subjective support, objective support, and support availability). Independent sample t-test, analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression were conducted to examine key determinants of frailty. Results:The total score of frailty among older adults in the community was (43.1±12.0). The results showed that the total score of social support was negatively associated with frailty of community-dwelling older adults ( r=-0.449, P<0.01); age ≥80 years old ( β=0.229, P<0.001) was positively associated with frailty; not living alone, children′s household support, children′s spiritual support, the accessibility of elderly care facilities within a 15-minute walk, and social support score were negatively associated with frailty ( β=-0.118, -0.081, -0.260, -0.155, -0.250,all P<0.05). Conclusion:The elderly in the community have a moderate degree of frailty, which affected by age, living condition, children′s support, the accessibility of elderly care facilities, and social support.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the use and satisfaction of smart healthcare in public hospitals in Hangzhou from the perspective of patient experience.Methods:From August to September 2020, 501 patients from 2 class A tertiary hospitals and 5 community health centers in Hangzhou were randomly selected for questionnaire survey. The survey included their usage and satisfaction of smart healthcare. Based on SERVQUAL theory, the patient satisfaction scale included 5 dimensions of tangibility, reliability, reactivity, assurance, and empathy. The factors affecting patient satisfaction were analyzed by single factor and multi factor analysis.Results:The average score of patient satisfaction was 3.94±0.56. The satisfaction with tangibility(4.25±0.64), assurance(4.07±0.71)and reactivity(4.02±0.73)was higher, while the scoring of empathy(3.84±0.77)and reliability(3.52±0.70)were lower than the average score. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that patients′ educational level, occupational type and UTAUT score had a certain impact on satisfaction( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall satisfaction of patients with smart healthcare in Hangzhou is high. In the future, we should pay more attention to big data security and personal privacy protection, upgrade the smart medical system, improve the hospital Internet platform, empower smart healthcare service system through digital technology, and promote the comprehensive digital transformation of health.
ABSTRACT
Objective Newborn bilirubin encephalopathy seriously threatens the life and health of newborns, Both the mortality and morbidity are high.Cerebrospinal fluid bilirubin concentration can better reflect the blood-brain barrier function and brain bilirubin levels, which can help the diagnosis of bilirubin encephalopathy.Methods In order to meet the clinical needs, we confirmed the detection performance of the existing serum bilirubin detection system for cerebrospinal fluid bilirubin, including precision, accuracy and analysis of measurement range.Results The results showed that the detection system was linear at 1.0-25.1μmol/L, and the daytime CVat normal and pathological values was less than the precision requirement (6％) .The bias of each sample and the average bias are less than the allowable bias (5％) , the total error is less than the total allowable error (15％) .Conclusion Therefore, the performance of the detection system meet the industry standards, can be used for neonatal cerebrospinal fluid bilirubin detection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze iodine nutrition and its correlation with thyroid function in pregnant women.Methods A total of 295 pregnant women were enrolled from Jun.to Oct.2016,and detected for serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),free thyroxine(FT4) and thyroid-peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) by using electrochemiluminescence analysis,and for urinary iodine concentration(UIC) by cold digestion method according to iodine catalytic effect of arsenic-cerium.Results The median of UIC was 174.90 μg/L.The prevalence of iodine deficiency and iodine excess were 40.00% and 7.12% respectively.The prevalence of TPOAb positivity and thyroid dysfunction in the iodine deficiency group and iodine excess group were significantly higher than those of iodine proper group(P<0.05).The levels of TSH and FT4 of iodine excess group were significantly higher than those of iodine proper group(P<0.05).Conclusion The abnormality of iodine nutrition could be common in pregnant women.Monitoring of UIC and thyroid hormones should be highlighted.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the change of red cell volume distribution width (RDW) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ) .Methods A total number of 160 pregnant women in our center from January to October 2016 were selected as the research subjects .Eighty patients with GDM served as the GDM group and 80 normal pregnant women as the control group .The clinical data at the second trimester (24 to 28 gestational weeks) ,and changes of RDW and NLR were analyzed .Results The age ,gestational weeks ,gestational times and pre-pregnant BMI had no statistical differences between the GDM group and control group (P>0 .05) .There was no statistically significant differences in the hyperten-sion family history and fetal macrosomia incidence between the GDM group and control group .However ,the family history of diabe-tes ,premature rupture of membranes and incidence of premature birth had statistical difference between the two groups (P<0 .05) . The RDW and NLR levels of the GDM group were higher than those of the control group (P<0 .01) .Conclusion GDM has a cer-tain association with inflammation .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation between renal damage of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ) and level of serum cystatin C(Cys C) .Methods Eutocia puerperas with single birth in this center from January 2011 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed .400 puerperas ,who were confirmed as GDM by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) detection ,were collected .Among them ,200 puerperas with 24 h urinary protein content more than 0 .15 g during their 30 to 40 weeks of pregnancy were served as GDM group ,while another 200 puerperas with those not more than 0 .15 g as GDM control group .200 healthy puer-peras without GDM were served as the normal group .Serum uric acid ,creatinine ,urea ,Cys C and 24 h urinary protein content of them during their 30 to 40 weeks of pregnancy were detected .Results Serum uric acid and Cys C of patients in GDM group were obviously higher than those in the GDM control group(P0 .05) .24 h urinary protein content was positively correlated with the serum uric acid and Cys C(r=0 .715 ,0 .863 ,P0 .05) .Conclusion Serum Cys C may be used as indicators for early diagnosis and monitoring of renal damage in patients with GDM .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the impact of NaF · EDTA-K2 on blood lipids measurement in pregnant women , determine whetherthe empty-stomach plasma for OGTT could be used as substitute for serumin blood lipids analyses.Methods Fastingplasma with NaF · EDTA-K2 and serumfrom 100 pregnant women werecollected,andconcentration of CHO,TG, HDL,LDL,apoA1 and apoB were tested with Hitachi 7 600 automatic biochemical analyzer.Data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 software.Results The concentrations oflipids and lipoproteins with NaF · EDTA-K2 were slightly lower than those of serum.There were statistical significances between the means of CHO , HDL, LDL, apoA1 and apoBof two groups ( P<0.05) except TG.Correlation coefficients of the six analyteswere CHO 0.968, TG 0.995, HDL 0.979, LDL 0.991, apoA1 0.692, apoB 0.846respectively.Standard Error of Estimate for plasma were: CHO 0.281, TG 0.094, HDL 0.077, LDL 0.112, apoA1 0.230, apoB 0.111 respectively.The modified coefficients were 1.08 for CHO, HDL and LDL, 1.14 for apoA1 and 1.07 for apoB.Conclusion NaF· EDTA-K2 negatively biased the blood lipidsmeasurement of CHO , HDL, LDL, apoA1 and apoB in pregnant women,yet lipids concentrations in plasma with NaF · EDTA-K2 were closely related to those in serum , which may be used to predict the bloodlipidslevel of pregnant women afterajusted.
